Bachelor of Chinese Medicine 中醫全科學士
BChinMed
Short Description
Classical Chinese Medicine Supplemented with Biomedical Sciences
The programme covers comprehensive Chinese Medicine and biomedical sciences courses in a systematic manner, delivered by teachers from the School of Chinese Medicine and clinical departments under the Medical Faculty respectively.
Early and Comprehensive Clinical Training
Early clinical training is provided through clinical attachment (under teachers’ supervision) at the designated local Chinese Medicine Clinical Centres for Teaching and Research. In Year 4, students undergo a junior clerkship at the HKU-SZ Hospital, where they can integrate what they have learnt with the actual practice under hospital settings. In Year 6, students are required to undertake the clinical clerkship in the teaching hospitals affiliated to outstanding traditional Chinese medicine universities in Mainland China as arranged by the School.
Learning Experience Beyond Professional Core
Students are required to take Common Core Courses to attain broader perspective and develop critical thinking skills.
Cultivation of Interest in Scientific Research
Students are given the opportunity to undertake laboratory experiments in several Chinese Medicine and Biomedical Sciences courses. The School has also set up different research interest groups for students to participate during their studies.
Bi-literacy and Tri-lingualism
English is the medium of instruction for most of the Common Core Courses and all biomedical sciences courses. Both Putonghua and Cantonese are used in other core courses, dispensary practicum, clinical attachment, junior clerkship and clinical clerkship, etc.
Mode of Learning
An outcome-based approach to students’ learning and multi-disciplinary teaching approaches, such as problem-based learning (PBL) and clinical case discussion, are adopted.
